There is a place called Qiliping in the southeast of Yongdu, where Yongdu business giants gather, near the New Year was originally the most frequent time for businessmen, since ancient times, the official businessman family, the official family looks down on the businessman, the businessman resents the official, but the two sides have always been entangled because of the interests, but the sudden change of the palace in Yongdu has made all the businessmen have not been able to see the situation clearly, and many people are afraid, for fear that the things that used to throw in the door will be discovered, and this turmoil involves themselves.
Although there are many rich businessmen in Qiliping, but the number one figure is still Zan Buliu, the Xinglong line he controls is the largest commercial house in Dayong, and it also ranks among the top three in the Central Plains, his business radiates to the north and south of the river, and all countries have a branch of Xinglong Bank, Zan Buliu is definitely a person who has business all over the world, and the financial resources reach Sanjiang, and Hu Xiaotian is also very close in private, Hu Xiaotian has obtained a lot of scarce materials through him, and he has also earned a lot of wealth through Hu Xiaotian.
The principle of not staying in Dayong to do things is not to leave, and no one is too close, but no one is easily offended, as long as it is a bodhisattva in the temple, he will not miss every one.
Even if it is impossible to please everyone, but Zan Buliu will never easily offend anyone, this is the purpose of his business, for which Zan does not leave a lot of money, but Zan does not leave at the same time carefully maintain a distance from everyone, giving others the impression that every interaction is for profit, not for personal relations.
The mansion of Zan Buliu is not conspicuous in Qiliping, but Feng Shui occupies an excellent place, the two bronze lions in front of the door are given by the first emperor Xue Shengkang, this is to commend his merits, fifteen years ago, Dayong suffered a flood that has not been encountered in a hundred years, Zan Buliu generously donated five million taels of silver.
Become a model for Dayong businessmen.
These two bronze lions stood in front of Zan Buliu's mansion, and they also became the most precious things in Zan Buliu, and he specially made a pair of crystal covers to protect the bronze lions.
At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, a servant began to sweep the snow from the crystal cover.
Hu Xiaotian stepped on the snow and came to the front of the Zanfu, and the two servants were full of vigilance against this uninvited guest.
After all, since last night, the entire Yongdu has become noisy, and Zan Buliu has specially explained, unless someone from the palace and the idle people outside all say that he is sick and does not see.
After changing the description, Hu Xiaotian of course would not have the face to be allowed in, and he didn't say much, and directly handed a colorful crystal seahorse pendant to one of the servants, which was given to him by Zan Buliu back then, and the servant took the pendant into it.
After a short time, he came out in a panic and invited Hu Xiaotian in.
There was a smell of smoke wafting in the warm room, he had just smoked dry tobacco, the smell of smoke had not yet dissipated, before Hu Xiaotian came in, he had already made a pot of good tea, and the charcoal fire was re-added to the stove.
When Hu Xiaotian walked into the room, Zan Buliu was still lying lazily on the couch, waiting for the servant to leave.
He hurriedly jumped down from the seat and said deeply to Hu Xiaotian: "I didn't know that Gongzi was coming."
I hope you will forgive me for the rudeness."
Hu Xiaotian felt quite different, he had already used a makeover to change his appearance, why did Zan Buliu be able to recognize himself just by relying on this pendant Zan Buliu said: "Now there are rumors everywhere that Gongzi and King Yan colluded to subvert the power of the Dayong Emperor, although the appearance of Gongzi has changed, but the body shape has not changed, and this colorful crystal horse is what I gave to Gongzi."
If there is no urgency, Childe will not come to the door in person. ” Hu Xiaotian smiled, it is estimated that Zan Buliu is also a guess, he can't determine his identity at all, but he has no need to hide it.
He nodded and said, "Mr.
Zan took the liberty to come here in extraordinary times, I hope Mr.
Zan will not be surprised." ” Zan Buliu heard his voice before he dared to completely conclude that the person in front of him was Hu Xiaotian, and he smiled: "Where is the son, if you come to Yongbu to find me, I will be surprised."
Invited Hu Xiaotian to sit down, personally poured him full of tea and handed it over, Zan Buliu vaguely guessed that Hu Xiaotian must have come this time because of the change in Dayong Palace.
Sure enough, as he expected, Hu Xiaotian took a sip of tea and said, "I don't need to beat around the bush, Mr.
Zan should have heard about what happened last night, and I want Brother Zan to do me a favor." ” Zan Buliu said: "As long as you can do it in the future, you will do your best" Hu Xiaotian said: "King Yan and I are friends of eight worships, something happened to him, how can I, as a brother, stand by and watch, Brother Zan has a lot of connections in Yongdu, can you help me inquire about his whereabouts" Zan didn't pay attention to say Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian, you really gave me a problem, he looked at Hu Xiaotian with both eyes, and said after a while: "Is Hu Gongzi wearing a mask, it really looks flawless." ” Hu Xiaotian listened to him talk about him, he should still not confirm his identity, he couldn't help but smile slightly, turned around, and turned his face again after a while, and he had already recovered his original appearance.
Zan Buliu looked at Hu Xiaotian in front of him, and was amazed in his heart, no wonder he dared to appear in Dayong in a grand manner, with such a magical kung fu to change his appearance, even if he met him head-on, who could recognize his original identity.
Zan Buliu said: "I have heard some about this, but I don't have too deep a friendship with King Yan" Speaking of this, he found that the corners of Hu Xiaotian's lips flashed with a mocking smile, and he suddenly felt that his old face was hot, and it was not necessary to say this kind of thing in front of someone like Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and slowly put down the teacup: "It seems that Hu has come to the wrong place." ” Zan Buliu saw that he wanted to get up and say goodbye, and suddenly panicked again: "Childe, listen to me." ” Hu Xiaotianfu picked up the teacup again: "Brother Zan might as well say it directly, whether you are a brother, a friend, or a partner, it is better to be honest." ” Zan Buliu said: "Zan said something that should not be said, why should the son ask too much about Dayong's political affairs." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Since you know that you shouldn't say it, why should Brother Zan bother talking?"
Zan Buliu was speechless by him, and suddenly realized that although he was invincible in business, he was too far behind Hu Xiaotian in politics, Hu Xiaotian came to the door today to ask for help, if he helped him solve this trouble, then he would be able to be unimpeded in Hu Xiaotian's territory in the future, otherwise, I am afraid that his future business route to the south will be cut off by Hu Xiaotian, and it is not excluded that he will shake out the private transactions between himself and Dakang in the past, if it is really like that, it is a big crime to kill the head and exterminate the clan.
Thinking of this, Zan Buliu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Li Shenzhou, you don't know this person" Zan Buliu listened to him finally changed the topic, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Li Shenzhou is a famous family, and he has won the trust of the emperor, and this time he suddenly threw himself into the camp of King Ming for some reason."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Can't Brother Zan see who the real master of this palace change is?"
Zan Buliu said: "I'm just a businessman, and I don't know the inside story of the palace.
Speaking of this, he realized that his words might make Hu Xiaotian mistakenly think that he was prevaricating, and hurriedly said: "But judging from the current situation, it should be that Li Shenzhou and King Ming have already colluded. ” Hu Xiaotian smiled: "If you are not the authorities, no one knows what happened, now you should understand, why I want you to help me find King Yan."
Zan Buliu thought for a while and said, "Now that King Yan is being searched everywhere, how dare he continue to stay in Yongdu, maybe he has already fled." ” Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "King Yan is shrewd, he is never confused in major matters, Li Shenzhou has strictly controlled all the gates of Yongdu before he started, unless King Yan has wings, he can escape from here."
"Xue Shengjing doesn't have wings, but Hu Xiaotian does, as long as he wants, he can escape from Yongdu calmly.
Zan Buliu said: "Gongzi is saying that King Yan may still be hiding somewhere in Yongdu" Hu Xiaotian said: "The more dangerous the place, the safer the place, King Yan has lived here for so long, this Yongdu doesn't know how much his potential power, even if Li Shenzhou has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to uproot him overnight." ” Zan Buliu said: "Childe, although I don't have a deep friendship with King Yan, but I still have some understanding of who has frequent contact with King Yan, I will try my best to investigate this matter, if there is news, I will definitely report to Childe as soon as possible."
After some hesitation, he finally decided to do it for Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian expressed his satisfaction with Zan Buliu's words, nodded and said, "Brother Zan has worked hard, I still have something to ask for." ” Zan Buliu said respectfully: "Childe, please command." ” Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhan, my original intention of venturing to Yongdu this time was to rescue Liu Changsheng's father and son, but now it seems that instead of saving them, I killed their two fathers and sons."
"Although there is still no definite news about Liu Changsheng's father and son, what happened in the Garden of Mercy and Grace last night has spread all over the capital, and in the Garden of Mercy, Liu Changsheng and his son are afraid that it will be difficult to escape responsibility.
Zan Buliu said: "I understand below, I will ask someone to inquire about this matter." ” Hu Xiaotian was also inconvenient to stay for a long time, got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, Zan Buliu said: "Hu Gongzi, when this is the time of rumors, it is better to leave as soon as possible, Zan is not afraid of things, but really for the safety of the son." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Zhan, I have my own way of coping." ” Zan Buliu knew that he would not leave in a short time, so he sighed and said, "Even if Childe is going to stay, it's better not to show up outside for the next two days." ” Hu Xiaotian hugged his fists and said in a low voice: "At noon the day after tomorrow, I will wait for Brother Zan in the Bafang Tower."
This sentence is equivalent to setting a deadline for Zan Buliu.
Zan Buliu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Whether there is news or not, Zan will go as promised
